According to the Bahrain Olympic Committee, the event will include five disciplines. Three events will be hosted in the Athletic competition: a hurdle toddles for three-year-olds, a medley relay for four-year-olds and a freestyle race on specially designed 15 meters for two-year-olds.

Apart from the athletic events, the Baby Olympics will also have a free-kick competition in football, a basketball free-throw competition, a freestyle gymnastic moves contest and a weightlifting show.

In order to prepare their kids for the sporting event, all kindergartens across the country will be involved in various sport-related activities. Baby Olympics could look a lot like the spoof Olympic Channel made about a “Baby Olympics”.

It was BOC General Secretary Abdulrahman Askar, who, during the event’s preparatory meeting discussed the idea of organising the Baby Olympics with Lounes Madene, BOC projects manager.
